"A child... A sword... And a destiny that will change an empire."

Born in a forgotten tribe on the southern borders far apart from the empire, a young boy reaches out and grasps a sword that no one has been able to move for a thousand years — and history begins to rewrite itself.

Within the hands of this seemingly ordinary child, an ancient Teigu awakens, thrusting him into the heart of war, betrayal, and hope. An empire caught in the web of corrupt politics... and a flame of hope rising from the darkness.

"The Flame of Hope in the Black Reign" is a dark reimagining set in the world of Akame ga Kill.
This time, the revolution begins somewhere else.
